Nothing says fall better than a bowl of chili or hot apple cider. In writing this article, I see there are about as many recipes for chili as there is information on housing, whew! For some reason I have always liked Wendy's Chili. It is just thick and spicy enough. Since it is familiar, I will share that recipe with you to get fall started off right.
